Subsequently, two infantry regiments of the 27th Brigade under the 9th Division of the Heiji Army rushed to Lishu County and announced the complete occupation of Lishu County. However, because the county town of Lishu was occupied, the 27th Division of the Feng Army, which was resisting at the front, could only be forced to abandon all positions and immediately return to Siping Town to organize defense on the spot. The 2nd Division of the Heiji Army took advantage of the situation to occupy the front-line positions and bagged the entire Lishu County, and the first phase of the strategic goal was achieved.

Zhao Zengfu, the first commander of the Heiji Army, heard the report that General Battle captured Zhang Haipeng alive and the headquarters of the 28th Division of the Feng Army, laughed and said that he had caught it well, and quickly escorted Zhang Haipeng to Changchun and handed it over to Xiushuai, so that Xiushuai could see our military exploits. The Heiji Army won the victory on the first route on all fronts, and it only took one day, one night and one day to exceed the strategic task, which really made a great contribution.

The Second Route Army of the Heiji Army, which attacked from Yitong County in Jilin Province to Xifeng County in Fengtian Province, fought fiercely with the elite Second Mixed Brigade and most of the First Mixed Brigade of the Feng Army in Xifeng County under the command of Gong Xiaoqi, the guard of Hulunbuir Town. Both sides had casualties, each side won and lost, and the Feng army was well prepared, but it did not let the Heiji army take advantage.

Since the main task of the Second Army of the Heiji Army was to contain the two mixed brigades, although it seemed that the two sides were fighting fiercely, there were no major casualties.

A day later, the 4th and 8th Divisions of the 2nd Route Army of the Heiji Army, with the cooperation of artillery, automobiles and aircraft, broke through the three lines of defense of the Feng Army.

When the commanders of the Feng army rushed back to the front line from Shenyang overnight to supervise the battle, they immediately stabilized the front line, and Wu Junsheng, the general of the Feng army, led the cavalry regiment of the second mixed brigade of the Feng army into a counterattack. The first three lines of defense were recaptured, and the battle was once again stalemate in the area of Xiaogushan on the border of Xifeng County and Yitong County.

Wu Junsheng, the commander of the second mixed brigade of the Feng army, was a general of the Feng department, he fought bravely and took the lead, and Wu Junsheng personally led the troops to counterattack so that the soldiers of the Feng army on the front line stabilized the morale of the army. The commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade, Tang Yulin, also known as the Feng Tiger General, led his headquarters to actively cooperate with Wu Junsheng's counterattack to regain all the lost positions after his return.

Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin saw that it was so easy to regain the position, so they discussed waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack to give the Heiji army a little color, but in the area of Xiaogushan, Wu Junsheng's cavalry was resolutely counterattacked by the 8th Division of the Heiji Army on the opposite side.

Wang Qiyuan, commander of the Eighth Division of the Heiji Army, is known as Wang Da Tongue. Waving a command knife and shouting, "Give ...... To give...... Kill them for me! Other...... Other...... Don't be soft! However, his chief of staff, Han Linchun, commanded Ruoding, assigned tasks and arranged positions. After this battle, Han Linchun's prestige was also achieved, and Tang Yulin's subordinate Gu Erfat was smashed with one shot. There was not even a complete corpse, Tang Yulin sat on the ground and cried, heartache lost his love, and was pulled back by his henchmen.

On the other hand, Ma Zhanshan, the general of Wu Junsheng's independent cavalry, led four battalions of cavalry to the east of Xiaogushan in a vain attempt to bypass Xiaogushan and counterattack, but was blocked and ambushed. Anticipating their counterattack, the Heiji army prepared mortars and machine guns, and opened fire when they saw people coming. Shang Yuanqing, commander of the 24th Brigade of the Eighth Division of the Heiji Army, ordered all the cars to be organized, let the machine gun battalion get on the cars, and use the car plus machine gun, with mortar support behind it, to destroy the cavalry of Rang Ma Zhanshan in one fell swoop, and the cavalry of the Feng Army was strewn with corpses all over the place. More than 700 cavalry of the four battalions of Ma Zhanshan were killed and wounded as soon as the battle began.

Ma Zhanshan was so angry that he vomited blood in the back, and he was about to commit suicide when he pulled out his saber, but Ma Ben stopped him in time and said that the general must not commit suicide, Ma Zhanshan cried: "The cavalry of the fourth battalion has gone for most of it now." I don't have the face to see my sir. ”

Seeing this, Shang Yuanqing launched a counterattack despite the darkness of the sky, and the 24th Brigade of the Heiji Army immediately took advantage of the situation and once again conquered the three lines of defense east of Xiaogu Mountain of the Feng Army. When he was about to prepare to go straight to Xifeng County in one go, the division commander Wang Qiyuan ordered that no attacks were allowed, not only were they not allowed to attack. Shang Yuanqing's troops were also asked to withdraw.

Shang Yuanqing was short-tempered, so he wanted to refuse, but fortunately, his staff officer Shi Yucheng dissuaded him in time, saying that the brigade commander had finally gone to the front line to fight, and it would not be good if he was put on small shoes behind his back because he violated the military order. Shang Yuanqing was angry and said, "This time, Xifeng County can be defeated, and it can be defeated." Shi Yucheng said: "Even if we can fight down, it's just that we have made meritorious contributions, and now the situation between our army and the Feng army is ordered, and the above is not allowed to fight, there must be their ideas." If our unit dares to disrupt the battle plan, it will certainly attract the tongue of others. Shang Yuanqing had no choice but to withdraw his troops in anger.

Later, Shang Yuanqing's 24th Brigade was withdrawn by division commander Wang Qiyuan under the pretext of heavy casualties, and the 23rd Brigade of Ren Guodong went to the front line to engage in a tug-of-war with Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin's Feng army.

Wu Junsheng's cavalry lost more than half, and the armed forces continued to attack, so they could only hold the defensive line. However, the morale of the Feng army was low, so they no longer dared to attack, and the two armies once again began to confront, waiting for orders from above.

The task of the Second Route Army of the Heiji Army is to complete the task of containment, not to defeat the enemy, the Feng army continues to increase the number of troops in Xiaogushan, Wu Junsheng's headquarters has increased from 15,000 to more than 30,000 people, Zhang Zuolin even pulled up 10,000 police patrol battalions in the rear to support Wu Junsheng to resist the attack of the Heiji Army.

After attracting the main force of the Feng army, Gong Xiaoqi, the commander of the second route, breathed a sigh of relief, and heard that Shang Yuanqing was almost bad, so he was startled, and hurriedly sent a message to Wang Qiyuan saying that Shang Yuanqing must not be allowed to come to the two stunned people. When Wu Junsheng confronted the second road, Gong Xiaoqi ordered the six brigades of his two divisions to attack in turn, which made Wu Junsheng's defense line constantly unguardable and exhausted.

On November 19, Huinan County, Dongliao Region, Fengtian Province was attacked by the 10th White Russian Division and the 11th Cavalry Division of the Third Route Army of the Heiji Army, and on November 21, the Third Route Army of the Heiji Army entered Hailong County, Fengtian Province, and on November 22, entered Dongfeng County to break through the county seat, which shocked the Feng Army, Zhang Zuolin shouted a dangerous cry and fell to the ground. The Third Route Army of the Heiji Army began to prepare for a detour into Xifeng County, intending to encircle and annihilate the 1st Mixed Brigade, 2nd Mixed Brigade, 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Feng Army, and 14 patrol battalions in Beifeng County and Xifeng County, totaling 36,000 Feng troops in Beifeng County.

Zhang Zuolin immediately ordered Wu Junsheng to lead all the troops to withdraw from Beifeng and return to Shenyang to prepare for a defensive battle. Yang Yuting, chief of staff of the Feng Army, ordered Zhang Zuoxiang to lead the 27th and 28th Divisions to abandon Siping Mansion and return to Shenyang Mansion.

Wu Junsheng's retreat was not completely blocked, but more than 30,000 troops could not be pushed down at once, and during the several days of stalemate between him and the Second Route Army of the Feng Army on the opposite side, the trenches were staggered and the whole family could not be withdrawn. Wu Junsheng gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and ordered more than 10,000 people from the 3rd Mixed Brigade and 14 Liaobei Patrol Battalions to immediately counterattack, and announced that reinforcements had arrived and launched a general attack. When the so-called general offensive began, Wu Junsheng ordered the elites of the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 2nd Mixed Brigade to retreat immediately, and luckily took advantage of the familiar location to bypass the cavalry of the Heiji Army and withdraw to Shenyangfu.

The special envoy sent by Zhang Zuolin to Beijing to ask Duan Qirui for help sent back an unfortunate news, and Duan Qirui handed in his resignation this time because of the contradiction between him and President Feng Guozhang. This was originally just Duan Qirui's move to retreat into persecution, but unexpectedly, this time President Feng Guozhang really didn't give him face and allowed him to resign!

In the Great War between the North and the South, the Anhui and direct Beiyang Army beat the Southern Army out of breath, and it could have been able to directly destroy the South.

Then Feng Guozhang directly invited Wang Shizhen, known as the Dragon of the Beiyang, to come out of the mountain to serve as the new premier of the Republic of China and concurrently serve as the army commander. Wang Shizhen is known as the dragon of Beiyang among the three heroes of Beiyang, and he was originally very capable and prestigious as the first prime minister of the Republic of China, but after Wang Shizhen was established at the beginning of the Republic of China, he resigned from fame and fortune and went home, no matter how Yuan Shikai persuaded him, he didn't go out of the mountain, but he was a rich man, usually doing charity, and was unwilling to participate in the struggle for power and profit between the government.

Out of patience for Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang's subordinates really had no one who could succeed him as prime minister, so Feng Guozhang ran to Wang Shizhen's house and repeatedly begged him to go out of the mountain to serve as the prime minister.

Wang Shizhen also knew what kind of situation he was out of the mountain, at this time Qirui was ousted from power by his direct family, and there were four provincial overseers directly - Cao Kun, the overseer of Zhili, Wang Zhanyuan, the overseer of Hubei, Li Chun, the overseer of Jiangsu, and Chen Guangyuan, the overseer of Jiangxi......

What kind of person is Duan Qirui, that is the main battle faction in Beiyang, if you can fight, you can fight if you can't fight, you have to fight, and you have to fight, and you have to fight if you can't fight, and you have to fight this directly, and you will hang it on your face, so you resigned. Feng Guozhang was even more interesting, allowing Duan Qirui to resign as army chief, but retaining the post of premier of the Republic of China. What's the use of not being the army chief and keeping the prime minister, Duan Qirui resigned in a fit of anger.

Duan Qirui resigned, but the Anhui family did not fall, and the direct family temporarily gained the upper hand, but it was also in danger. Wang Shizhen has just become the prime minister and army chief of the Republic of China, but who listens to him? Wang Shizhen at this time, in addition to the status of a Beiyang senior, who still remembers him? At this time, Zhang Zuolin begged Duan Qirui to send a telegram, but it was directly sent to Wang Shizhen, who naturally knew about the conflict between the Heiji army and the Feng army. The biggest reason for the conflict between the Heiji Army and the Feng Army is the conflict of interests, even the child Zeng Zicheng knows that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how does he Wang Shizhen not know.

So Wang Shizhen did not reply to Zhang Zuolin's request for help, but waited for things to progress. However, when Jiang Guidi of the Yijun Army learned the news, after thinking about it a little, he sent two mixed brigades to support Zhang Zuolin, which greatly moved Zhang Zuolin.
